Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang already knew what he would focus on next.

After entering the Isolation Barrier, Shang summoned several extremely powerful Peak Abomination Lords.

Abomination Lords were incredibly powerful, and they could even win against Clouds in a duel, but Shang was on a completely different level, which was why he needed several.

Shang had already realized that he could even summon Abomination Kings, but he hadn't summoned one yet.

Summoning an Abomination King could theoretically put the entire world in danger in a way that Shang didn't want.

What if summoning an Abomination King opened the world to being invaded by more Abomination Kings?

The Lightning Emperor had told Shang that Abomination Kings had been the most powerful Abominations that humans had ever seen and that they had been quite rare, even back when Lucius had been a Mage Emperor.

One Abomination King required someone at the Ninth Realm to become active to deal with them before they exploded.

This meant that the Mage Emperors would actually need to become active, and at that point, the entire concept of the war would become irrelevant.

The appearance of an Abomination King would put everyone in such a panic that the Mage Emperors would personally attack other Mage Emperors just so that they could search for the Child of Calamity without interference.

All trust would break down, and even the Mage Kings would become unimportant and irrelevant.

The Mage Emperors would run rampant, and no one but other Mage Emperors would stand in their way.

Even more, the Mage Emperors might become so desperate that they would force the Lightning Emperor to release the Archivist. Maybe the Archivist could help.

And that would be bad for Shang.

After all, the Archivist had already realized that Lucius had been the Child of Calamity back then, and Lucius had been better at hiding his status than Shang.

It was likely that the Archivist would quickly find out that Shang was the Child of Calamity.

Sure, the Lightning Emperor was extremely powerful, but someone like Lucius could only jump a single level against the Archivist.
